The City is starting to work on the next Strategic Plan. The goals and strategies laid out in the plan form a blueprint for what the City attempts to achieve during a five-year time span. It is very much a working document that constantly drives decision-making in the City. We will again conduct a citizen survey to gather input from the community. Results from this survey will form the basis of our planning efforts. The last survey (2011) had a 41 percent return rate. We can do better. We need your help with this to guide selection of future projects and service enhancements. Stay tuned for more information about the survey in upcoming months.

A group of citizens have approached the City of Montgomery to consider replacing the current leaf collection program with a leaf vacuuming service. A list of frequently asked questions has been developed about the current leaf collection program and leaf vacuuming.
